Behold a Strangers at the Door
{ Behold a Strangers at the Door ZEPHYR-William Batchelder Bradbury CHRIST AT THE DOOR-Frank A. Simpkins FEDERAL STREET-Henry K. Oliver COMMUNION-Composer Unknown (arr. Edward Miller) Behold a Stranger's at the Door! } Behold a Stranger's at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. O lovely attitude, He stands With melting heart and bleeding hands; O matchless kindness, and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The friend of sinners - yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. Rise, touched with gratitude divine; Turn out His enemy and thine, That soul-destroying monster sin, And let the heavenly stranger in. Admit Him, ere His anger burn; His feet, departed, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand, You'll at His door rejected stand. |
